This book is based on four years of working with after-school programs introducing healthy fruits and vegetables to at-risk inner-city children ages 5-12. Included in the book are simple step-by-step instructions filled with wonderful, colorful pictures of the necessary equipment, fruits and vegetables, final food creations, and children having fun preparing the food. Over 50 recipes with the “kids’ stamp of approval” were selected for this book with a great variety of beverages, side and main dishes, snacks, and desserts! Finally, both adults and children can agree on their love of food and practice mindful eating. And the best part: no stove is needed! A blender and food processor is sufficient for many of these nutritious foods. Through this book, we want to broaden children’s exposure to making healthy choices with food, physical activity, and family involvement. All ages love these recipes.
